[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present utility model clearer, the following will detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model with reference to the drawings. Examples of these preferred embodiments are illustrated in the drawings. The embodiments of the present utility model shown in the drawings and described according to the drawings are merely exemplary, and the present utility model is not limited to these embodiments.

[0030] Here, in order to avoid obscuring the present utility model with unnecessary details, only the structures and / or processing steps closely related to the solution of the present utility model are shown in the drawings, while other details of less relevance are omitted.

[0031] Referring to Figure 1 as shown, the embodiment of the present utility model provides a shaft - type workpiece fixture for a milling machining center, and the milling machining center includes a milling machine workbench 100.

[0032] The shaft-type workpiece fixture includes: a base 1, a connecting plate 2, a shaft clamping block 3, a toggle clamp 4, and a three-jaw chuck base 5.

[0033] Among them, the base 1 is connected to the milling machine workbench 100;

[0034] Combined Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a plurality of mounting threaded holes 210 and a plurality of positioning pin holes 220 are provided on the connecting plate 2, and the connecting plate 2 is locked to the base 1 through screws passing through the mounting threaded holes 210;

[0035] A plurality of the shaft clamping blocks 3 are limited on the connecting plate 2 by pins provided at the bottom of the connecting plate 2 passing through the corresponding positioning pin holes 220, and are used to cooperate with each other to form a receiving groove 30 for abutting against the side surface of the shaft-type workpiece 200, that is, the shaft arc surface, so that the shaft-type workpiece 200 is placed on each shaft clamping block 3;

[0036] The toggle clamp 4 is connected to the shaft clamping block 3 by screws, and is used to abut against the side surface of the shaft-type workpiece 200 through its chuck 41 to press and embed the shaft-type workpiece 200 into the receiving groove 30;

[0037] Two of the three-jaw chuck bases 5 are slidably connected to the milling machine workbench 100, and are respectively located at the front and rear ends of the connecting plate 2, and are used to respectively clamp and fix the opposite ends of the shaft-type workpiece 200.

[0038] The usage process of the shaft-type workpiece fixture of the above-mentioned milling machining center is as follows:

[0039] Determine the width of the required receiving groove 30 according to the size of the shaft-type workpiece 200, so that the shaft-type workpiece 200 can be placed into the receiving groove 200, the lower side of the side surface of the shaft-type workpiece 200 is abutted and fixed, and stably placed on each shaft clamping block 3. Pass a pin through the shaft clamping block 3 to the corresponding positioning pin hole 220 to fix the clamping block 3 at a specified position on the connecting plate 2, and then lock the connecting plate 2 to the base 1 on the milling machine workbench 100 through screws; Place the shaft-type workpiece 200 into the receiving groove 30, and then rotate the chuck 41 of the toggle clamp 4 connected to the clamping block 3 to press the chuck 41 onto the upper side of the side surface of the shaft-type workpiece 200, thereby completing the clamping and fixing of the shaft-type workpiece 200 in its radial direction; Then, by respectively pushing the two three-jaw chuck bases 5, the two ends of the shaft-type workpiece 200 are respectively clamped into the middle of the three jaws of the three-jaw chuck base 5 facing them for clamping and fixing, and the two end faces of the shaft-type workpiece 200 are tightened, realizing its axial fixation.

[0040] This shaft-type workpiece fixture can fix the shaft-type workpiece 200 in its radial direction by the cooperation of the shaft clamping block 3 and the toggle clamp 4, and at the same time fix the shaft-type workpiece 200 in its axial direction by the cooperation of two three-jaw chuck seats 5, so as to ensure the stability of the shaft-type workpiece 200 in different directions, avoid deviation during the machining of the milling center, guarantee the accuracy of the milling process, and maintain the yield rate of the manufactured parts unaffected.

[0041] It should be noted here that locking structures for fixing themselves at designated positions on the T-slot of the milling machine table 100 are provided on both the base 1 and the three-jaw chuck seat 5. These locking structures include but are not limited to T-slot quick-release bolts, so as to keep in place without sliding after determining the required positions of the base 1 and the three-jaw chuck seat 5 on the milling machine table 100.

[0042] Furthermore, when bumpy convex block structures or groove structures are formed on the side surface of the shaft-type workpiece 200, fixture accessories with corresponding shapes can be set to clamp and engage, restricting the rotation of the shaft-type workpiece 200 around its central axis and further improving the stability of the shaft-type workpiece 200. Therefore, in this embodiment, the shaft-type workpiece fixture further includes a shaft rotation stop seat 6. The shaft rotation stop seat 6 can be connected to the connecting plate 2 by a pin. The number of the shaft rotation stop seats 6 is at least one pair. Step structures 61 are formed on the opposite surfaces between each pair of shaft rotation stop seats 6, cooperating to form a step groove 60 for clamping and placing the shaft-type workpiece 200 placed in the step groove 60 to restrict the rotation of the shaft-type workpiece 200. The step groove 60 is equivalent to continuous convex blocks, which can effectively prevent the shaft-type workpiece 200 with concave and convex structures from rotating freely and adapt to high-frequency milling cutters.

[0043] Specifically, the three-jaw chuck seat 5 includes a sliding seat 51 and a three-jaw chuck body 52. A tail tenon 511 that fits with the T-slot opened on the milling machine table 100 is provided at the bottom of the sliding seat 51, and it is slidably connected to the milling machine table 100. A chute extending in the height direction is opened on the surface of the sliding seat 51 facing the connecting plate 2. The three-jaw chuck body 52 can move up and down relative to the sliding seat 51 in the chute through a connecting slider 521, so as to adjust the height of the three-jaw chuck body 52 according to the height of the end face of the shaft-type workpiece 200.

[0044] In this embodiment, for the columnar structure of the shaft-type workpiece 200, gradually approaching and downwardly extending slopes 31 are formed on the opposite surfaces of the shaft clamping blocks 3, so that the receiving groove 30 formed by the opposite slopes 31 of the paired shaft clamping blocks 3 gradually narrows downward. When the shaft-type workpiece 200 is placed in the receiving groove 30, the two slopes 31 will respectively be tangent to the side surface of the axial workpiece 200, providing a force pointing to the midline. Cooperating with the downward pressure of the chuck 41 of the toggle clamp 4, the three forces point to the same position to fix the shaft-type workpiece 200 and restrict the radial movement of the shaft-type workpiece 200.

[0045] As shown in Figure 2 combination with Figure 4 the figure, since the chuck 41 of the conventional toggle clamp 4 rotates through its hinge structure, for the convenience of the toggle clamp 4 pressing down the shaft-type workpiece 200 towards the receiving groove 30, exemplarily, the toggle clamp 4 is attached to the side surface of the shaft clamping block 3 by screws. Similarly to the arrangement of the positioning pin holes 220 on the connecting plate 2, multiple screw holes arranged in an array can be provided on the shaft clamping block 3 to enable more selection ranges for the installation position points of the toggle clamp 4.

[0046] According to the parts of the shaft-type workpiece 200 with different diameters, the shaft clamping block 3 needs to be correspondingly adjusted in position on the connecting plate 2 so as to adjust the width of the formed receiving groove 30. Therefore, a sufficient number of positioning pin holes 220 corresponding to different position points should be provided on the connecting plate 2 to expand the adjustable range of the width of the receiving groove 30 and adapt to more sizes of the shaft-type workpiece 200 and its different parts. And these positioning pin holes 220 should be evenly distributed to facilitate the operator to freely select the position of the shaft clamping block 3 according to actual needs. Therefore, in this embodiment, multiple said positioning pin holes 220 are arranged in an array on the connecting plate 2. Further, multiple sizes of the positioning pin holes 220 can be selected.

[0047] The embodiment of the present utility model further provides a milling machining center, which includes a milling machine workbench 100 and the shaft-type workpiece fixture as described above.
